Soulive is a genre-blurring powerhouse that sits at the crossroads of funk, soul, jazz, and hip-hop, built around the deep musical chemistry of guitarist Eric Krasno, drummer Alan Evans, and organist Neal Evans. Formed in the late 1990s, the band made a bold statement early on by embracing the classic organ-trio format—Hammond B-3, guitar, and drums—while pushing it into thoroughly modern territory. What sets Soulive apart is their ability to be both technically sophisticated and irresistibly accessible. They can stretch a tune into extended improvisation without losing the pocket, and they treat rhythm as the main event rather than a backdrop. Over the years, the band has collaborated widely, working with artists like Chaka Khan, John Scofield and Dave Matthews, further cementing their reputation as musical connectors.
Equally at home on festival stages and in intimate clubs, Soulive has earned a loyal following by staying true to one core idea: the groove comes first. Everything else is built on top of that.
